Neurons in the mustache bat dorsal nucleus of the lateral lemniscus (DNLL) were examined in response to monaural stimulation. There are six main findings of this study. First, the mustache bat DNLL is tonotopically organized. Second, EI cells are the predominant aural type and comprise about 80% of DNLL neurons, whereas monaural and EE cells are far less numerous. Third, the majority of DNLL neurons have either monotonic or weakly nonmonotonic rate-intensity functions. Fourth, a chopping… CONTINUE READING
